My question involves criminal law for the state of: Tennessee I was wondering if asked to testify in a domestic violence case could I plead the fifth. The reason is because I didn't give the whole story just part of it and some of my information was not correct. If I give the truth then I might go to jail because I was the aggresure. Yet I ended up going to with the documented injuries. My spouse didn't go to seek medical attention but they had the most injuries. So could I plead every question the fifth or pick just the ones that send me to jail.
